| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Trebonianus Gallus facing right, portrayed from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the articulated plates of the cuirass rendered in relief. The effigy displays the characteristic mid-third-century provincial style, with bold, somewhat schematic modeling of the facial features. The imperial titulature legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregular and slightly off-centre, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze coinage of the period. |

Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — technically Colonia Alexandria Augusta Troadensis — and its civic coinage reflects that status directly in the abbreviation COL AVG that appears on issues of this type. The city held ius italicum, exempting it from provincial land tax, a privilege granted by Caracalla and jealously maintained. Trebonianus Gallus came to power after Decius and his son Herennius Etruscus were killed fighting the Goths at Abritus in 251, making this a short reign bookended by military catastrophe — plague ravaged the empire throughout, the same Cyprianic Plague that had already been killing hundreds daily in Rome for years.
